monogram in the print, EB

image: The foreground of the composition shows the Kaiser wearing a pickelhaube and bristling moustache submerged to his
chin in the Rhine. Only his hands are visible above the water and grasp vainly at a striped border post marked "Allemagne". On the French
bank to the right of the composition a diaphanously clad Marianne prances and thumbs her nose. Immediately behind her to the left stands a
pollarded tree in full leaf, a symbol of regeneration. In the distance a rustic bridge spans the river leading to a farmhouse. A printed
remarque, lower right of main image, showing Marianne grinning at the viewer and holding a fishing rod from which is suspended the
pickelhaube of the now-submerged Kaiser. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Allegory 01/3(4-15) DE.A Wilhelm II Landscape portrait / personification sports / pastimes Caricature Kaiser of Germany | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Bernard, Edouard | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
